after 15...fxe6 even though there are pawns on both sides of the board and it's an endgame all ready the black knight seems better then your bishop. all three of your Queen side pawns are weak, and blacks king is better placed. Black must have an advantage at this point, you need a stronger player or a computer to see if black has enough to win, personally I think he should! so look for a mistake before move 15.
Where i did mistake ?

Actually i was this point of time thought bishop is more stronger than knight. So according to you i should have exchange bishope for knight? 17.Bxf6

You developed you dark squared bishop on move 11 and promptly threw it away for almost the whole game. From move 19 onwards just observe your piece play and your opponent's piece play and notice the difference. Moreover you gave your opponent a free hand on one side while not using all your resources to press completely for a win. Just attacking isn't going to win games. You have to make sure you can come out of it alive.
Like nightshadow said, in the endgame at least, it seems like you ignore your queenside and think you're going to queen a pawn on the kingside. 26.g5 may look good because you're going to get a passer, but in truth the passer has no future, it was better to re-capture and get a passed pawn afterwhich you could try to somehow survive on the queenside.
Even after that though, you'd have an f pawn hanging out there -- best would have been to leave the king side alone after move 23 and get your king and bishop over to the queenside where all your weaknesses are.
So for example I think your instincts were right on move 24, instead consider 24.Bf2-e3 and even to then to c1. By pulling over to the Q-side and consolidating there, you may get to the point in the ending where your bishop's ability to play on both sides of the board would lead to an advantage.
Also the R endgame with 17. Bxf6 is worth considering. With only one file for black's rook to be active on (the d file) your queenside pawns arn't as bad a weakness.
You played a good game, but there was no point where I thought white was winning. IMO you over estimated your kingside in the endgame and that's why you lost.
Believe or not i nearly thaught i got alekhine in chessmaster. But i was wrong was defeated but if somebody analyse my game plz let me know where i made mistake. one Reason i thnk i did was underestimate chessmaster calculation power.I was shocked by seeing those calculations.I think that was the main reason for my loss.
